Photograph of the Santa Monica beach in front of the Seaside Terrace Apartments, ca.1910. The beach is a wide, sandy swath of land that stretches across the image from left to right. Many people are relaxing on the sand on blankets or under umbrellas, and several people are playing in the waves in the foreground. The seaside apartment building is a half-timber-looking building with three stories at center. There are wooden balconies on both of the upper stories. Another apartment building is at right, and several more buildings are in the background. There is a parking lot full of early-model automobiles in the background at left.
